FY2015 OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE

USA and Europe Fiber Cement Outlook

The US housing market recovery remains uncertain in the short-term, however, our view remains unchanged on the medium and longer-term outlook

Due to the slower then expected recovery, we will defer the planned commissioning of a number of our capacity expansion programs, although we still remain committed to investing $600 million in additional manufacturing capacity through fiscal 2017 ahead of an anticipated medium to longer-term recovery

Asia Pacific Fiber Cement Outlook

Our expectation is that net sales across our Asia Pacific businesses will continue to deliver improved results in line with growth in the local housing markets of the regions in which we operate

FY2015 Guidance1

Management expects full year Adjusted net operating profit to be between $ US205 million and $ US235 million assuming, among other things, housing industry conditions in the United States continue to improve at a more moderate level than originally assumed at the beginning of the year, and that an exchange rate at or near current levels is applicable for the remainder of the fiscal year

1Management is unable to forecast the comparable US GAAP financial measure due to uncertainty regarding the impact of actuarial estimates on asbestos-related assets and liabilities in future periods

2During the second quarter of FY14, the company refined its methodology for calculating average net sales price in both the USA and Europe and Asia Pacific Fiber Cement segments to exclude ancillary products that have no impact on fiber cement sales volume, which is measured and reported in million square feet (“mmsf”). As the revenue contribution of these ancillary products been increasing, the company believes the refined methodology provides an improved disclosure of average net sales price, in line with the company’s primary fibre cement business, which is a key segment performance indicator. The company has restated average net sales price in the prior periods to conform with the current calculation of average net sales price.

US INPUT COSTS

Quarterly US Input Costs

Discussion:

Input costs are up significantly over the prior year

The price of NBSK pulp is at a three-year peak

The cost of gas for industrial users has nearly doubled since 2013

We are engaged in effective sourcing strategies to reduce the impact of increasing market prices

The information underlying the table above is sourced as follows:

Pulp – Cost per ton – from RISI

Gas – Cost per thousand cubic feet for industrial users – from US Energy Information Administration

Electric – Cost per thousand kilowatt hour for industrial users – from US Energy Information Administration

Cement – Relative index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
